Dutch entrepreneur Deen Shipping constantly considers the safety of its people and the environment, hence the birth of Argonon. Pon Power teamed with Deen Shipping to integrate Capstone microturbines into the dual-fuel ship concept. Deen Shipping officials believe the expansion of LNG issuance stations in the coming years will be an important contribution to the success of similar microturbine dual-fuel ship applications in the future. The onboard clean-and-green microturbines, which are approved by Lloyds Register of Shipping for this project, can meet strict emission regulations without additional exhaust aftertreatment. The result is a tremendous reduction in service requirements, maintenance, and operational costs. While the 110-meter (330-foot) Type C Tanker smoothly traverses the Rhine River making stops at storage depots in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland, the microturbines operate in an N+1 setting and serve as the electrical power supply onboard. The microturbines’ exhaust is captured in a heat exchanger to heat water onboard. The resulting hot water is diverted to heat the LNG vaporizer, which provides fuel to the microturbines and main propulsion engines. Additionally, the hot water produces heat for the boiler and domestic hot water system and also is used for central heating. The heat of the microturbines also is fed to an absorption chiller for the air conditioning system. “Argonon Shipping strives to be an innovative, socially-responsible company and Capstone microturbines absolutely fit our mission to have a clean-and- green profile.” — Gerard Deen, Deen Shipping When compared to traditional diesel generator sets, the Capstone microturbines onboard the Argonon have extreme low NOx emissions and produce a negligible amount of particulate matters. The CCHP system provides a high overall fuel economy for auxiliary power, which further reduces the ships overall carbon footprint. The microturbines’ absence of lubricant also prevents surface water pollution. Additionally, the microturbines can run on natural gas, are extremely reliable, require minimal maintenance when compared to traditional diesel generators, and can easily integrate with existing onboard equipment. The microturbines ensure onboard comfort since there’s essentially no vibration and very low noise. “We created the first inland barge that runs on dual fuel,” said Gerard Deen of Deen Shipping. “Argonon Shipping strives to be an innovative, socially- responsible company and Capstone microturbines absolutely fit our mission to have a clean-and-green profile. Microturbines are rapidly expanding into a number of industries and will certainly be substantial power sources for inland navigation.” Two liquid natural-gas fueled Capstone C30 MicroTurbines onboard the MTS Argonon Type C tanker in Rotterdam, Netherlands, operate in an N+1 setting and serve as the main electrical power supply. 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA • 91311 • 866.422.7786 • 818.734.5300 • www.capstoneturbine.com ©2012 Capstone Turbine Corporation.
